The purpose of this revision is to add the following additional scope to EC INL-14-101:
Four compacts previously irradiated in Capsule 4 of the Advanced Gas Reactor (AGR)-2 experiment will be selected for additional safety testing and examination performed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Each compact will be packaged in an individual tungsten shielding container and placed within a Type A drum. The compacts would be shipped from the Hot Fuel Examination Facility (HFEF) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to ORNL. The irradiated shipments will be Type A radioactive material shipments in compliance with Federal regulations found at 49 CFR parts 100 to 177. Typically, Type A packages are used to transport radiopharmaceuticals and certain regulatory qualified industrial products.
